Capítulo 102: 101. The Void Reckons
The path to the Broken Nexus grew more treacherous with each passing moment. The air around them shimmered with an unnatural energy, and the shadows that clung to the trees seemed to pulse with life. Anon led his team through the dense forest, his eyes sharp as he navigated the increasingly chaotic terrain. The convergence was near, and with it came a growing sense of dread.
"Stay close," Anon ordered, his voice cutting through the tension. His team obeyed without question, their trust in their leader unshakable after years of intense training.
As they moved, the ground beneath them began to tremble, subtle at first but growing stronger with each step. Rin glanced at the ground nervously. "The closer we get, the more unstable everything feels," she said quietly, her eyes scanning their surroundings for signs of danger.
Anon nodded, sensing it too. The convergence wasn't just distorting reality—it was erasing it, warping the very fabric of existence. He could feel the Void calling to him, its energy resonating within him, but something else lurked just beyond his perception. The Nexus was more than just a rift—it was alive.
"Sensei," Takeshi called out, pointing ahead. "Look."
Ahead of them, through the trees, a large clearing stretched out, bathed in an eerie glow. The center of the clearing was dominated by a massive rift, pulsating with dark energy. But what caught their attention wasn't just the rift—it was the figure standing before it.
Clad in robes of deep black, the figure radiated a powerful, malevolent energy. Its face was obscured by a mask, and its hands were raised, as if conducting the flow of energy pouring from the rift. The air around the figure seemed to ripple, distorting the space around it.
Anon narrowed his eyes, his instincts flaring. "That's it. The source of the convergence."
Rin, Takeshi, and Kazumi tensed, readying themselves for the inevitable confrontation.
"What is that thing?" Kazumi whispered, her voice tinged with fear.
"It's the embodiment of the Nexus," Anon replied, his tone grim. "Whatever it is, it's not bound by the same rules as us. This is no ordinary enemy."
The figure, as if sensing their presence, turned slowly to face them. Though its face was hidden behind the mask, they could feel its gaze piercing through them, as if it were looking directly into their souls.
"You've come far," the figure said, its voice a low, haunting echo. "But this is the end. The convergence is inevitable. You cannot stop it."
Anon stepped forward, his body tense but composed. "We'll see about that."
With a flick of his wrist, Anon unleashed a wave of Void energy, sending it crashing toward the figure. The energy struck the ground, tearing through the space between them and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But the figure didn't flinch. Instead, it raised its hand, and with a simple gesture, the Void energy was absorbed into the rift behind it.
"Fool," the figure sneered. "The Void is mine to command. You think you can challenge me with the very power I control?"
Anon's eyes narrowed. This opponent wasn't like anything they had faced before. The Void itself seemed to respond to the figure's will, twisting and warping in ways that defied logic.
"You may control the Void," Anon said, his voice cold and steady, "but I've mastered it. And you've underestimated us."
With that, he signaled to his team. Rin, Takeshi, and Kazumi sprang into action, their training kicking in as they moved to flank the figure. They knew this would be no ordinary battle, but they trusted Anon's leadership and their own abilities.
Rin was the first to strike, using the Void Phase to move through the shadows and attack the figure from behind. Her blade gleamed as it cut through the air, aimed directly at the figure's core. But just before her strike landed, the figure shifted, its form dissolving into darkness.
Rin's eyes widened as her attack passed through nothing but air. Before she could react, the figure reappeared in front of her, its hand outstretched. Dark tendrils of energy erupted from its palm, wrapping around her wrist and pulling her toward the rift.
"No!" Takeshi shouted as he leapt toward Rin, using his own Void energy to sever the tendrils and pull her back. The two of them landed on the ground, panting heavily.
Anon's mind raced. This enemy wasn't just using the Void—it was manipulating the convergence itself. Every attack they made seemed to fuel the rift, making it stronger. They couldn't fight it head-on. Not like this.
"Kazumi," Anon called out, his voice sharp. "We need to change our strategy. Use your genjutsu to disrupt its control over the shadows. We need to break its link to the Nexus."
Kazumi nodded, her hands moving rapidly as she formed the seals for her most powerful genjutsu. As her technique took effect, the air around them seemed to shimmer, and the shadows that had once obeyed the figure's command began to waver.
The figure paused, its head tilting slightly as if it were confused. The shadows around it flickered, their once-solid forms now rippling like water.
"Now," Anon commanded. "Strike!"
Rin and Takeshi moved in tandem, their blades gleaming as they attacked the weakened figure. This time, their strikes hit their mark, slicing through the tendrils of shadow that held the figure together.
The figure let out a low growl, its form collapsing briefly before reforming. But its connection to the rift had been weakened. The energy pouring from the Nexus began to slow, and the figure's control over the Void was slipping.
Anon, sensing the shift in power, raised his hand and summoned his own Void energy. This time, he directed it not at the figure but at the rift itself. His energy collided with the rift, disrupting the flow of power that had been feeding the figure.
The figure staggered, its voice filled with rage. "You think you can stop the convergence? You are nothing compared to the forces at play here!"
Anon's expression remained cold. "We don't need to stop the convergence. We just need to stop you."
With a final surge of power, Anon unleashed a devastating wave of Void energy, tearing through the figure's form and severing its connection to the Nexus. The figure let out a final scream as its body disintegrated into nothingness, consumed by the very darkness it had commanded.
The rift, now unstable without the figure's control, began to collapse in on itself. The ground shook violently as the convergence faltered, the dark energy that had been spreading across the land now retreating back into the Void.
Anon and his team stood together, breathing heavily but victorious. The battle had been intense, but they had succeeded in weakening the Nexus. For now, the threat had been pushed back.
"Is it over?" Rin asked, her voice tinged with exhaustion.
Anon shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the rift. "Not yet. This was just one piece of the puzzle. The Nexus is still out there, and the convergence will continue until we find a way to close it for good."
Takeshi wiped the sweat from his brow, his expression serious. "Then what's the next move?"
Anon's eyes narrowed as he looked toward the horizon, where the faint glow of the Nexus still lingered. "We regroup with the others. This isn't over. Not by a long shot."
